Product Description
CD Description
* Can it really be as long ago as 2004 that the last volume of "Where The Girls Are" was released? Well, yes it can, but girl group fans and collectors will find the five-year wait for the latest addition to the serious has been worth every minute.
* The 26 tracks here span the years 1962-1967, with 18 of them new to CD with eight of the selections are previously unissued in any format. Among them are great tracks by proven favourites the Jaynetts, the Satisfactions, the Jelly Beans and a pre-Motown Brenda Holloway sounding a lot like her heroine Mary Wells.
* Other highlights include the Zippers from Nashville, Baby Jane and the Rockabyes from the Bronx, an elusive album track from New Jersey's Shirelles, the mysterious Puffs from Los Angeles, Chicago's Lovelites and Gary US Bonds' backup girls the Azaleas from Norfolk, Virginia.
* All in all, a veritable guided girl group tour, all wrapped up, as usual, in a nice fat 6000 word booklet positively bursting with facts and pictures. Notes by Mick Patrick.

Here come more girls,

This review is from: Where the Girls are, Vol. 7 (Audio CD)
I half expected by Vol 7, the overall quality of the Girls series choices would have diminished a bit. How wrong could I be, plenty of real rarities and fine ones at that as well as a nice mix between the soulful and more poppy 60s female sounds. Starting with the super Tears Come Tumbling from the Teardrops through hit making Barbara Mason's moving Trouble Child, along the way there's such gems as His Lips Get In The Way by Joani Camp - fail to understand why such a wonderfully haunting record remained unreleased at the time - an early Brenda Holloway showing the Tamla legend had such potential even in the pre-Motown days, an alternate take of Claudine Clarke's biggie Party Lights and the orignal version of the Breakaways That Boy Of Mine by The Sparkels among many others. Sorry to doubt you Ace records, should have known better!

This review is from: Where the Girls are, Vol. 7 (Audio CD)
This album has many uknown girlie groups on it, and you can see why they weren't hits. It isn't bad, but there are no standout tracks on it

By Richard "Alice Collector" (Blackpool England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Where the Girls are, Vol. 7 (Audio CD)
This time round there's not as many repeats and more obscurities.Which is what collectors want.
Seems rather pointless for the 3rd time round with Claudine Clark when there's so much to go at-even Claudine's Party Lights album was not represented 100% on the recent CD
